Overview

This rigorous treatment of transmission lines presents all the essential concepts in a clear and straightforward manner. Key principles are demonstrated by numerous practical worked examples and illustrations, and complex mathematics is avoided throughout. Early chapters cover pulse propagation, sinusoidal waves and coupled lines, all set within the context of a simple lossless equivalent circuit. Later chapters then develop this basic model by demonstrating the derivation of circuit parameters, and the use of Maxwell's equations to extend this theory to major transmission lines. Finally, a discussion of photonic concepts and properties provides valuable insights into the fundamental physics underpinning transmission lines. Covering DC to optical frequencies, this accessible text is an invaluable resource for students, researchers and professionals in electrical, RF and microwave engineering.

'[This book] ... part of the Cambridge RF and Microwave Engineering series ... is dedicated to transmission lines, but does not involve too much mathematical complexity. This makes it suitable for undergraduate students; it will be a good starting point for this audience to become familiar with the basics of many subjects that are related to transmission lines.' B. Kordi, Choice
